Union 32 Craft House – 0.9 miles from Training Camp

Basically located in the backyard of Viking Lakes, the Minnesota Vikings’ headquarters and training facility, you will find a beer haven unlike any other. Union 32 Craft House is the place to be during Vikings Training Camp, not only because it’s less than a mile away, but also because it’s home to the legendary beer wall. Take your pick and pour yourself any of the 32 homegrown beers, lagers and ales. Try one or try five, it’s up to you. This brewpub definitely takes advantage of its beer wall focal point, but don’t let that distract you from the food. You can choose from the classics like nachos and wings or indulge in some eats from the “What the Truck Menu”. The Final Final Roast Beef is a fan favorite topped with Final Final Nacho Beer Cheese Sauce or the Marky Mark may have your name written all over it, especially if your name is Mark 😉 Great food, Minnesota craft beer, an outdoor patio and live music AND right across the street from Viking Lakes? We’ll see you there.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit – 1.8 miles from Training Camp

What goes together better than summer, football AND barbecue?! Not a thing. Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Viking Lakes is a local favorite that’s been cranking out slow smoked meats and delectable sides for over ten years in this location. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is known for its authentic Texas-style barbecue like mouthwatering fall-off-the-bone ribs, pit smoked chicken wings, beef brisket and much more. Whether you’re wanting to sit down for a comforting meal with the family or pick up and picnic somewhere near camp, you’ll be in barbecue heaven! Don’t forget to save room for a sensational slice of pecan pie to top off an amazing meal.

Volstead House Whiskey Bar & Speakeasy – 3.1 miles from Training Camp

Just a few miles down the road from Viking Lakes stands a speakeasy that you may or may not know about due to its hidden location, but we’ve got you covered. Just walk into Burgers and Bottles, which we will be talking about soon, and head to the red door in the back. You’re then transported to the Prohibition-era – dark wood, dim lighting, whiskey barrels and a beautiful liquor bottle wall display. While Volstead House is intimate and secretive, it’s become a hugely popular spot for visitors and residents alike. With unique signature cocktails like the One Arm Bandit made with single malt scotch, cherry liqueur and bitters, your thirst will be quenched no matter what. For the hungry fan, Volstead House serves up tasty plates such as Duck Wontons, Steak Bites or the Cuban Fish Taco. You can’t forget to top off your speakeasy experience with dessert! The Raspberry Storm is a must, trust us.

Burgers and Bottles – 3.1 miles from Training Camp

If a mouthwatering burger and old-fashioned soda are more your speed before, after or during Training Camp, then Burgers and Bottles holds the golden ticket. Located in front of Volstead House, this burger joint is family-owned and full of flavor and fun. We like to say B & B elevates the basics with fresh hand-crafted burgers, French fries made from real potatoes, sodas with natural sugar and not high fructose corn syrup, and craft beers from family-owned breweries right here in Minnesota.  A few foodie favorites include the Brunch Burger (fried egg, cheddar cheese and smoked bacon – need we say more?), Smokehouse Poutine (fries topped with fresh cheese curds, house smoked brisket and smothered with gravy) or the Fried Mac and Cheese Burger. If you’re looking for something lighter, the Thai Chicken Wrap or Cobb Salad are delicious options. If that’s not enough, the beautiful wall of glass bottle sodas will bring you back to your childhood and make you want to stay at B & B for hours on end.

Lone Oak Grill – 3.2 miles from Training Camp 

Lone Oak Grill is known for its burgers, bourbon, beer and sports – so it only makes sense that it’s located just 3 miles away from Vikings Training Camp. With 36 beers on tap, house smoked specialties like the Tipsy Texan made up of 2-hour pecan wood smoked brisket and hickory smoked hot links, you can’t go wrong with this local hot spot. If you’re heading to Training Camp earlier in the day, stop by Lone Oak Grill for a fabulous brunch on the patio complete with all-you-can-drink Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s. You’ll be set to watch football for the rest of the day after a scrumptious meal and a few cocktails! Oh, if happy hour is your jam, Lone Oak has you covered with specials every day of the week, including ALL DAY deals on Sundays.

Ze’s Diner – 5.1 miles from Training Camp

If you’re looking for the ultimate diner experience, Ze’s is the answer every time. Ze’s Diner is a classic 50s restaurant lined with checkered décor, black and white portraits of iconic celebrities of the time and a welcoming atmosphere. Since opening back in 2012, Ze’s has been a go-to for having one of the best breakfasts in town plus it’s served all day! Pancakes, waffles, eggs, biscuits and gravy, you name it and Ze’s has it on their menu. Moody and Zeze Arafa, owners of the joint, are also known for their Mediterranean spin on classics such as the Gyro Omelet with delicious lamb cooked right in or the Mediterranean Kebobs served with chicken and sirloin. You can’t forget about their homemade baklava and other tasty sweets like velvety milkshakes and warm coffee drinks. While Ze’s is a mere 5 miles away from Vikings Training Camp, the speedy service will have you on your way to Viking Lakes in no time flat – and extremely satisfied to boot!

Whether you’re craving a big juicy burger, a fluffy stack of pancakes or just want to fill up on craft beer, it’s up to you. But you can do it all in Eagan before, after or during Vikings Training Camp! For more info on everything Training Camp, click HERE.
